Zesty Lemon Bars Overview
Zesty lemon bars are a tangy and sweet dessert that brings a burst of citrus flavor to any table.
They’re a classic treat for anyone who loves lemon desserts.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- Zest of 2 lemons
To make these lemony delights, begin by creating the crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Then, mix 1 cup butter and 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl until they are creamy.
After that, add in 2 cups of flour and mix until it forms a crumbly dough.
Next, press this dough evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Bake the crust for about 20 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden.
For the filling, whisk together 4 eggs, 2 cups of sugar, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
Then, pour this mixture over the baked crust.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 25 minutes or until the filling is set.
Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy your zesty lemon bars!
